UNPACKING
UNPACKING
THOROUGHLY INSPECT EQUIPMENT UPON ARRIVAL.
If goods are received short or in a damaged condition, it is important that you notify the carrier’s driver before he leaves your company and insist on a notation of the loss or damage across the face of the freight bill. Unless this is done, no claim can be enforced against the transportation company.
If concealed loss or damage is discovered, notify the carrier at once and insist on an inspection. This is absolutely necessary! A concealed damage report must be made no later than ten (10) days from the date the shipment was delivered. Unless you do this, the carrier will not consider any claim for loss or damage. The carrier’s agent will then make an inspection and grant a concealed damage notation. If you give the transportation company a clear receipt for the goods that have been damaged or lost in transit, you do so at your own risk and expense.
All claims must be filed within six (6) months of delivery date or
carrier will not accept them. TRULINE Packaging is willing to assist in every possible manner
to collect claims for loss or damage; however, this does not hold TRULINE Packaging responsible for collection on claims or replacement of material.
Do not throw away damaged pallets or box until freight
inspection has occurred.

MAINTENANCE
MAINTENANCE
To aid in maintaining the high reliability of this shrink tunnel, the following maintenance should be provided.
DISCONNECT ALL POWER BEFORE MAKING ANY REPAIRS. IF UNSURE OF ANYTHING, CONTACT A QUALIFIED SERVICE TECHNICIAN
A. The conveyor chains should be lubricated once a month with a high temperature oil. The lubricant should be applied with a brush or sprayed while the conveyor is slowly running.
B. The silicone covering on the tunnel rollers should be inspected regularly to assure that no scrap pieces of film are wrapped around the rollers to cause sticking of packages. To clean, run conveyor until the affected rollers are within the heated chamber, thus heating the film residue to soften the film, then advance the conveyor to stop the rollers outside the heat chamber for cleaning. Make sure the conveyor is stopped before putting your hands or anything else in the conveyor area. If necessary to remove the film residue, use a dull, blunt-edged tool. Do not use any sharp instruments, as nicking the silicone may result in having to replace the roller covering.
To replace silicone covering on the roller proceed as follows:
